Katie Rice

Storyboard artist Katie Rice was one of the past protégées of child molestor creator John Krickfalusi, from The Ren & Stimpy Show and the 1987s Mighty Mouse fame. We wouldn't speaking right now that in the #Metoo vibe, she declared publicly in 2018 that the famous Canadian creator (Yeah, he's Canadian all right!) have sexually harassed her at a teenager age, just for get a job in animation for him.

I often exagerated in many cases about the many people who worked on media for a job having no choice to "sleep" with the management. It sounds like a mafia thing, but it's the business role of the entertainment world after all. Rice has gained bigger respect to the showbiz world since this day and John K. is now part of a morbid past, as he never have matured since his own animated studio went onto drastic failures. 

Remember The Ripping Friends? I have seen it many times, and that was a okay show, though the pacing is still off. And better to not say anything for the Spike TV's episodes of Ren & Stimpy, though I may give it credits to launched the career of voice-artist Eric Bauza for voicing Stimpy, when Billy West weren't available (The truth about this is he went still upset about the John K's sadistic nature that date of the original Nickelodeon series. Oops!) and to earn a rare opportunity to own a job for background artist Nick Cross.

But you know that she gotten a job in the Brandy & Mr. Whiskers series? Her artstyle is very obvious in the episodes she ever worked at storyboard artist  like in Loathe Triangle (2-10). (Seen at right)

The season 2 of the show have some fans, though. Past Cartoon Network and Nick alumnis has pull their names onto the production of these, which it is good enough if that may boasted the credibility that the series need. Unfortunately in my case, it's a little downhill by be looked like exactly what we may known if those weird 1940s Screen Gems/Columbia cartoons were came to life again.

The Ren & Stimpy Show influence is more obvious in these than in Season 1. Some argued a lot about the crass jokes like Mr. Whiskers' fart or the toilet ones from the older season, but this is more to keep in competition to what were the norm in the middle-on-the-road 00s of TV cartoons. There, this is likely the series trying too hard to revive the 90s frantic animation again, but that it didn't work. The Animaniacs/Ren & Stimpy juvenile humor don't match well to this Disney show, and that had costs the cancellation of the series long before the final half-hour was originally made.

Rice has also worked on some other episodes of the show's second season like Con Hare or something that named A Really Crushing Crush. The biggest change of the season is obviously, the addition of a Shopping Mall in the Amazon Rainforest Jungle. In there, it started to become like another suburban Disney Channel kidcom formula that don't looked like what real people came for.

(The episode was been also "famous" to ended the segment with a sort-of bridging sequence of the pair behind the scenes, which its on this sticking point in which Brandy and Whiskers are typically actors and not Amazon Rainforest survivalists as we have all to know. That's what every fake cartoons use to do.)

We have no right to review anything from this season, althought we do finally commenting the final segment at a sort of an April Fool's joke. Once the full Season 1 review is done, we get over with it. The 1940s Screen Gems/Columbia cartoons by their lame copyacts of the Warner Bros. main characters were finally carried into the whole structure of the second season of the animated show. Without neglected their work, it's not that great for a legacy.
